Help: USB Device Not Recognized - Touch GSM General

Hi! I've tried searching the forums but I can't seem to find the solution to my problem. I have installed activesync 4.5 on Win XP Sp 2, but when I connect my HTC Touch, it says USB device not recognized and therefore I can't perform a sync. I did a hard reset on the phone but it still won't work. Do I need to download a separate usb driver for the phone? If yes, where can I get it? Thanks.

Have you tried putting the usb wire on different slots of you pC? If still not working borrow a wire from someone and see if still problem arises~. No extra usb driver is req.

Hi! Thanks for the reply. I did try with other cables and it's still not working. I don't think it's the wire or the usb slots because I can sync my other phones, an HTC Magic and a Nokia phone without any problems.
Is there a USB driver for HTC Touch? Maybe that can solve my problem...

Hi
Try Settings/connections/Usb to pc and uncheck everything beside the first option, this is the 1st action I take after flashing.

same thing. my phone is still not detected.

Another thought: can you sync over bluetooth? if yes the prob is hardware...
And if nothing works try flashing from SDcard.. That's all I can think of...
Also check the firewall settings too

Haven't tried to sync over bluetooth... I can't find my BT dongle. I'll do that once I get hold of my BT. Btw, how do I flash a rom from an SDcard? Thanks again for all the help.

But try the 2 other options first, did you try to stop all firewalls ?

problem with syncronization

hi guys i'm enjoing my great touch jade, but i encountered an annoing problem in syncronization: i can easily install activesync (i'm on xp pro sp3 and i've got office pro 2003) but when i connect my jade to pc nothing happen.. i mean, the phone start charging, but no sync go and windows send me a message about unidentified device, i haven't driver... how can i manage this situation? i'm trying since 4 days.. 've tryed softreset, searched everywhere and it seems that i need driver for a net-adapter NDIS.. i tought an activesync corrupted files, i downloaded from microsoft.com, but didn't work anyway. is activesync that don't install driver or my jade that got something wrong? i also tryed to change the usb cable.. isn't my cable..
nothing works...
sry for my unperfect english, i'm managing learning!
Have you tried unchecking start>settings>connections>usb to pc?
Two things you can check:
1. Check on a different comp if you can. I suspect a problem with the usb port on your computer. If you can, try plugging it into another usb port and trying that again.
2. Check the connector pins on your jade. Sometimes they get bent the wrong way and that causes the device to not be recognized when connected.

You should be able to see the pins using your naked eye as well. Their in the mini usb/charging port on your phone.
Would you be able to check this using another WM phone? Does any other device work on your comp? Mp3 players, camera devices etc? Are those detected?

When you plug in the device and windows asks you for drivers, check "install from a list or specific location" and in the following dialog point "include this location in the search" to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\Drivers" if your system is an english one...for other lang adjust accordingly. this should install all necessary drivers and render it working...

Hm, this worked for me. Try going to the device manager and uninstall the active driver, then re-try the above.

now i'm at work, but i tried yet this operation, and it tell me that no driver is installed for this device.... -.-
the real problem is that when i install activesync, he don't update the system with the right driver for my jade... i tryed on my girlfriend pc, she's got xp home and its the same... at now i can't try on vista, because the only one i know who use vista is on holiday... but i wanna find that shi##ing problem and solve it...
ActiveSync works fine with my WinXP SP 3.
When i connected Jade the first time XP asked for a driver. I ignored this.
Then I installed ActiveSync from one of the CDs that come with Jade.
Of course, you will also have to select ActiveSync (not "drive") on your jade when you connect it to the PC.
i writed in microsoft forum and sended a mail to htc to have fixed drivers.. i'll let you know if i manage..
update:
at now i can't manage to sync...
tried hard reset, asked microsoft for help, and htc too, they said i can have a hardware problem on my touch, cause nor in my friend laptop with vista can get drivers.. from htc they told me they can replace my touch with a new one...
i think i'll get this way...

Diamond Windows Xp: USB-device not recognized

Hi, i have a problem, my diamond doesn't connect to my pc anymore, not with active sync, not as a driver and not as a internet modem, i need to connect it so i can flash to a new rom to fixe a issue i have (my diamond freezes and does hard resets after that, all the time) to fix it i need to flash tock rom>hard reset>my rom>hard reset, but this won't work if i can't see a way to flash my phone ...
I'm not sure because I don't use XP, but do you not need WM Device Center or something?
And what format (wipe) memory to default from mobile, i mean main (not internal storage). i know that mobil will go to "preinstall" stadium...... if u dont undertand u lose everything on program memory (contacts, sms but u can backup it). If u do it u have clean rom because every rom have a shadow install copy.
there is no problem i thing

Thank you for your reaction too! No, you mean a hard reset, i allready did this a couple of times, the strange thing is that it doesnt work after a hard reset too, i allready backed my settings(contacts,sms,etc.) up since the problem started but it has no sence restoring it if it keeps auto hard-resetting itself...
Strange thing i noticed too is that when i connect my phone to the net adapter it thinks i'm connecting to a PC and it will ask me to chose an option(a.sync/file disk/ internet modem)
I dont know but my permanent problem is that every rom have checked faster data sync on usb sync and my vista doesnt recognize this... i dont know why is permanently enabled but for me this is not working.
but for u. it can be registry problem..... any registry cleaner or backup from other rom? just an idea

Fysical port, COM port or Computer(allready done)
bump, this just became a major issue i downloaded diamimg.nbh to internal storage and flashed to default rom but my USB still is not working.. please someone help me out ?
maybe your USB Port is broken or dirty? you ever tried to clean it? (turn your phone off, remove the battery, take a needle and take all the dust and fluff/lint out)
can you charge your phone via usb?
I had the same problem with XP. Glad I have also a mac ;-)
I "solved" the problem by leaving the phone connected to USB and restarted the PC. Then it worked but only if leave it in USB. When you pull it of you have to do it again :-(
Hope that helps temporarly

I have two charger, one ist the original from HTC, and the other is a normal plug with the miniusb on the other side, sometimes when I plugin the non-original I get the same message (USBtoPCPoppUp).
The reason is that not all pins have good contact, maybe you have to clean your usb connector with some "hard" cleaningstuff (alcohol(not the sweet stuff.. take it from a pharmacy!) or you can try rubbing alcohol (my favorite! ).
you could also try another USB cabel if you have one

Cant Connect To USB. Cant Flash?

So just recently my usb and sd card decided to malfunction. My usb will charge via my pc but it comes up on the pc (Vista 32bit) as 'Windows cannot recognise this device' my drivers are up to date. However in my device management i did notice that my 'Mobile Device's' section had gone
I also tried formatting my sd card using a card reader, but it wont format it
I want to flash a new ROM, any way of doing it without an activesync connection? i managed to get the NBH image on my sd card by using another storage card but i still couldnt establish an activesync connection.
Any help would be much appreaciated as this is driving me crazy
Thanks, Dan.

Otherwise, do you not have access to another pc?

Have you tried a simple thing like rebooting the pc? That sounds however more like a hardware issue on the pc or phone. What happens if you plug another usb device into the port eg a usb flash drive, does that pick up? In your device manager, are all usb devices functioning properly? Perhaps try to roll back the drivers on the ports if possible and re-install the usb driver update.

If you've changed usb cables, and you've checked the usb to connection setting is not on advanced, then it means the usb port & possibly main board are damaged. Did you hardspl your device?

Problem with USB connections

Hi, I seem to be having some trouble trying to update to the latest 6.5 ROM. It says I have a "Error 260: USB Connection".
I also get the same error trying to flash to HardSPL, it says I should make sure it is synced, when it is. I also tried installing the "enablerapinew.cab", and another computer/another cable cord. All the same problems.
I think it may be because in my USB to PC menu, the option to "Enable Advanced Network Functionality" is ticked and grayed out. So I can't untick it.
I tried changing the driver in the registry to the USB Serial driver, but that didn't even sync.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hard reset if nothing else works.
Then you will know whether it is a hardware failure or software related.
I've seen anything from bent pins, lose USB on circuit board, bad cables, Vista vs XP....etc and the list goes on of possible causes for this issue.
Well it still charges and the phone still reads the storage card because i was able to flash it from the card but the computer will not recognize it as a USB device therefore activesync will not work and i cannot access the storage card when its in the phone
Reinstall ActiveSync...maybe...

SD-Rom flashing
Hi ya all,
Try to flash it from your SD card, have a look here: http://www.tomlenferink.nl/component/content/article/1-latest-news/77-windows-mobile-65.html
Don't forget for Windows XP you need Active Sync and for Windows Vista and 7 you need Windows Mobile Device Center.

Someone please help me be able to transfer files to my phone from my PC!

It used to work, doesn't anymore.
USB debugging is enabled. Camera is connected as a media device. Using the original OEM cable. Drivers are updated....
so wtf? It just says "copying" when I try it on my PC, and on my laptop it immediately says "transfer stopped, device not connected or not responding"
I really need some help on this one, if anyone is up to it, thanks in advance!

I've had this issue before, but don't remember how I solved it, so be patient with my response.
1) Try deleting your devices drivers from device manager. Restart your computer and plug in your phone and try again after they automatically download.
2) Try a different USB port, if its a desktop, use one in the back of the computer.
3) When transferring, make sure your device is unlocked.
4) Try different USB cables.
Hope one of these tips works out for you.
